5.0 out of 5 stars
superb and one of almodovar's best.,
By
This review is from: Law Of Desire [DVD] (DVD)
Law of Desire builds gently, with great charm, humour and care in introducing us to a cast of very engaging and sympathetically flawed characters... and then a murder propels us into a mesmerising and unforgettable 2nd half which is as utterly believable as it is unpredictable. This is one of the greatest gay movies ever made, but I urge straight people to watch it in earnest if they want to see a brilliant film about real people, not stereotypes of either the positive or negative variety, and a story told with authenticity and freshness. The performances are uniformly excellent and Almodovar's direction has a lightness of touch and the simplicity and lack of pretension for which he is rightly renowned. I couldn't praise or recommend it highly enough. Just see it.

Law of Desire,

This review is from: Law Of Desire [DVD] (DVD)
This is basically a gay film, but should be seen by everyone interested in great film making. After a somewhat lightweight, frothy start, the film develops into something very much darker, with fine performances from the leads - particularly Antonio Banderas, who becomes increasingly menacing as it progresses. The picture and sound quality are very good. As an English speaker, I want to have the subtitles but - for world-wide distribution - surely it's best to give the customers the choice, rather than having them constantly on view.
If you like Almodovar's work, you won't be disappointed by this.

Great movie, ruined by the English subtitles,

This review is from: Law Of Desire [DVD] (DVD)
I love Almodovar, this is one oh his best films. But I wonder: why did the people who made this DVD possible put subtitles which cannot be taken away from the screen?
I am from Lima, Peru. I do not need to have subtitles all the time. Did they know there is an option called "Subtitles: ON/OFF."
